ill add to what everyone's saying. My hero that I'm using now couldnt be activated immediately because I bought it from someone and their account wouldnt be deactivated until a month after I bought it. Luckily enough, this stranger left to California with his phone being active and in my hands. He trusted me enough to not make international calls but still use his 900 minutes xD. So i still had my TP active and his phone.

Anyway, the sprint rep said he would have to be on the line with both of us to transfer liability and agree that the phone wasn't stolen and surely enough after the last bill date, the phone was free for activation.

by the way, if you're using craigslist, make it a meet up with cash. never do the shipping thing because that's the part where you have no coverage. with ebay & paypal you have proof of purchase and basically the buyer can ALWAYS get their money back with the right tools
